New York Rangers 5-1 Vancouver Canucks
The New York Rangers (12-8-1) have been consistent throughout the 2026/27 campaign, and on Friday they put together another complete performance as they took down the tanking Vancouver Canucks (3-17-1) 5-1. It was Gabriel Perreault that starred for the Rangers with a goal and an assist as Glenn Gawdin added the first two goals of his NHL career for New York in the big win.
This shouldn't be a big surprise for a Canucks team that have just three wins in 21 games played, and while Elias Pettersson tallied his 5th goal of the season, Dylan Garand stopped 27 of the 28 shots he saw as the Rangers move to 4-6-1 away from home this season.
Vegas Golden Knights 2-3 Nashville Predators (ASO)
Nashville Predators made it seven wins on the spin with a 3-2 shootout win over Vegas Golden Knights.
The game saw two of the Western Conference's top four take each other on, and it was a good start from the Predators, with Canadian veteran Ryan O'Reilly netting in the eighth minute.
The Golden Knights levelled soon after through Victor Olofsson before his Swedish compatriot Rasmus Andersson put the home side ahead in the second period.
O'Reilly netted his second of the game to make it 2-2 late on, and with no side able to score in overtime, a shootout was needed to separate the side.
The Knights scored just once as Roman Josi skated down the ice to seal another victory for the Predators.
